  • Sexual harassment in the creative and hospitality industries

    Open AccessAnneke Meyer, Katie Milestone et al.ARTICLEWomen s Studies International Forum2025References: 1

    This article investigates British newspaper coverage of workplace sexual harassment in the creative and hospitality industries during 2024 to assess the mobilising power and limitations of #MeToo across sectors.

  • ‘Northernness’, gender and Manchester’s creative industries

    Katie MilestoneARTICLEJournal for Cultural Research2016

    This article explores northernness and gender in the context of creative industries in Manchester.

  • What Difference does it Make? Women's Pop Cultural Production and Consumption in Manchester

    Open AccessNicola Richards, Katie MilestoneARTICLESociological Research Online2000Cited by: 2References: 8

    This paper explores the experiences of women in small cultural businesses and is based upon interviews with women working in a range of contexts in Manchester's popular music sector. The research seeks to promote wider consideration of women's roles in cultural production and consumption. We argue that it is necessary that experiences of production and consumption be understood as inter-related processes. Each part of this process is imbued with …
